Maloof dining chair

That is just incredible, especially when you consider that you did not use any plans to create this work of art. I would suggest that you invest in some sturdier material if you make another – you have the talent to pull it off again – so go for it, make a set.

Looks wonderful. On such a stool, with a low back, very comfortable to sit

My only critique would be on the “safety” issue, I see points on the chair that, to me, would be dangerous if you have any kids around. Other than that this is a fantastic build and I am impressed. The amount of time you spent on making this should be chalked up to “experience gained” and you will have that on your resume! There are not that many LJs that have made them out of all the members we have so KUDOS to you. Stick a feather in your hat and stick out your chest!

ive found pine to be a real pain to work with. i think if you can build it in pine you shouldnt have a problem with hardwoods

I’m impressed, I can’t imagine going for this with the actual plans…

BRAVO!

Great job – haven’t seen a style like this in pine before but it looks awesome. At first I thought it was ash.

FROM ROUGH BEGININNINGS CAME A BEAUTIFUL CREATION.more more more. mALOOF WOULD BE PLEASED!

From a design perspective the piece seems to stand up from the perspectives you have shown. Sometimes pieces take on a life of their own , Happened to Krenov who enjoyed that journey. You only identified a bandsaw? did you use gouges an adze or sand the )(&^%% out of it?

The color works well and you appear to have matched grain pretty well. From what people who work with hardwoods say . Pine is less forgiving and harder to work with.

If I were you “and I am not you” I would be wondering where I could go from here. Any plans?

Noticed you are from Luithuainia (sp?) And you appear to be progressing rapidly in your building skills from the simple pedastool table to this very complex chair.

I love the look of the pine…it is different and less “pretentious”, for lack of a better word…

Not only is this finished piece awesome – but I can’t get over the fact that you crafted this from that nail-ridden junk from your shed!
